Hi guys. I just have a quick question. As I've recently discovered, I can receive some of the UHF sats relatively easy with just my whip on my handheld R3. I'm curious if I could just as easily receive any of the higher frequencies from some of the other satellites? I was searching around the 2200 mhz area today and picked up some digital noises (sounded like paging?) but the signal strength on some of 'em was too high to be received from space. Any replies are appreciated =)

Chuck

Just FYI, but I found out the odd noise I hear is Flex. Must be something around here transmitting it, unless it's one real strong signal from a sat, but I seriously doubt it. My original question still needs answering though lol. Thanks again!
